it was set up BY the AFAP for AFAP members.
It is was the AFAP, decades ago, that took the deliberate step of splitting it off from the AFAP so that it could act entirely independently with NO inteference.
That is exactly why fund members should be viewing this almost paranoid attempt by the AFAP to keep the trusteeship/denigrate the current MBF trustees with extreme suspicion, and why the rule change proposing that people can't be executives of each is a good idea.
